Rumors were he did not get along with Shepard Sr.
I heard the same about other players.Hard nosed drill sergeant style.
I can understand that he did not get along with Shep. I have heard that. But, what does that have to do with the university as a whole? What the school just alienated every big money person we ever had? Name the baseball field after Mo Vaughn. We complain about not having big money people but it’s not true. Somehow the school needs to be able to figure out how to bring these people back into the fold.
there was a chunk of time where students had negative experiences. getting a donor base starts before they begin school, not after.
It just seems odd that we have a lot of home run alumni that have cold relationships with the school. Instead of focusing on repairing these relationships after the fact the school should be focusing on enhancing the current student experience so the next Mo Vaughn or George Kurtz is an engaged alumnus.
Where does all that $$$ go. $60k per year seems extremely excessive. Not hating on the Univ but it’s not exactly a top tier education.
Faculty are not exactly compensated well either, comparatively. Nothing is cheap in the Metro area, and when you don't have tax payers to leech off of in perpetuity like certain other institutions, the bill is large.
I had a marvelous experience at Seton Hall. Many of the learned lessons have served me well both career wise and personally. Going to the Hall was one of the best decisions that I have made in my life.
how is this unique to shu? omar basically every other school raking in way more tuition and fees than seton hall? a lot of aid gets given and 6k undergrads doesn't make me thing shu is flush.
Had many friends who played on the great 70's baseball teams and also traveled with the team broadcasting games for WSOU. Shep was in fact a different kind of guy. He butchered everyone's names - either intentionally or as a motivation. Drill Sgt is a mild moniker. Cut from a different cloth. He demanded a lot and several guys benefited by playing in the big leagues. Would venture to say that many felt that same way Mo did. Shep marched to his own beat - a military guy. Bottom line - he won and recruited great players. Probably wouldn't work in today's world.
I hope so. I just wonder whether our leadership people have the skill to do this. The 1988 baseball team was crazy good. When did Seton Hall ever honor them?
When you have $300 million maybe more, donating to your school should be something that you should do. You can’t spend that money in a lifetime. I went to school when Mo was here. He was beloved by the student body as was that entire baseball team. Remember Vaughn was the star on a team that had future Hall of Famer Craig Biggio on it and the leading hitter in the US Martese Robinson. This is the zenith of seton hall baseball and basketball.
The blaney era killed momentum and excitement in the program… absolutely destroyed it
This is what I meant in another thread saying all graduates are indebted to the Hall. Even Kadary and Al amir and Davis.
What I don’t get is that if their four years were so horrible then why the hell didn’t they transfer if they were so damn miserable? There must have been something that made them stay. In the case of Vaughn, if his baseball experience was that bad then donate to another aspect of the university that you enjoyed, or donate to baseball to change whatever made his experience less than what he thought it should be.
Really amazing that team went 1-2 in NCAA Baseball Tournament, and got eliminated by Auburn 22-3.
I graduated in 1993, and had the same experience as you. Going to basketball games was just what you did, and many of the social activities revolved around that. Newark and South Orange also had several bars that didn't care if you were 21 at the time, and the on-campus pub was still in existence.
